I need help with these problems. I don't know how to approach them. I want see detailed steps.
This physics problem (pictured below) was given to us on an ungraded practice worksheet. Because the island is floating, I know that the formula (ρ island)(Volume island)=(ρ saltwater)(Volume saltwater) can be used, but I cannot figure out what the volume of the island is. My work so far is pictured below.
